With the taken King 16 days away. We are starting to wrap up the final preparations in readying our characters for release. Whether it be grinding out rep, farming motes of light and strange coins, or glimmer items, things are really ramping down and getting very repetitive, which is understandable. But in light of the expansion, you should be thinking about trying to hit 40 as fast as possible, it's all about the end game, right? But in my own opinion, it should be a fun ride too. That being said, with the increase in recruits and new members, forming fire teams of 3 to fight through the story mode, could not only increase morale and give people insight of another persons play style and skill but also possibly break that barrier of not exactly knowing that person and get past that awkward point of not being able to have a conversation because you're new, or just haven't played with that person often. So the point is, branch out and get to know your clan mates, team up, get to 40, and be ready for King's Fall on release, and make the leader boards and one of the first clans to down Oryx.

I really like the idea of pushing hard right away in fireteams of 3. Have we talked about when the best time is going to be to dump out bounties? Obviously after the subclass is unlocked but should it be in a final push to 40 in hopes of better rewards from packages or just as soon as possible to get ahead of the story mission curve?

Well, as it stands right now, even if you're level 1, you can turn in a Legendary Engram to the Cryptarch and he'll give you a max level piece of gear. Unless the reward package/engram turn-in mechanics change, I'd say right off the bat as soon as your subclass is unlocked. It'll over level you for your missions making them go even faster.
